If You Use IE6, Chances Are, You Are Not An Einstein
Science agrees: geeks use other web browsers.
By collecting data from more than 100,000 users, a research firm has revealed that the majority of Internet Explorer users tend to have a lower IQ than Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera or Camino users. No one cares about the EQ anyway.
However, if you use the Internet Explorer with Google Chrome frame, there is a hope for you too.
Still confused? Just take a look at the graph.
Red: IQ average in 2011
Blue: IQ average in 2006
So here you have it folks, if you want to be cool on the Internet, just get Opera and watch your intelligence grow.

The interesting thing is the big growth within Opera users. Has Opera really changed it’s audience that much over the last 5 years?
It may have been caused just by a different sample of Opera users.
the heigher IQ is the lower you are effected by ads, so here we have it. Opera does almost no ads. and G and FF do a´quite a few. IE… been there for ever.
That’s interesting, however, those stats beg to differ:

coorelates well with another curve that represents amount of people with different IQ. few with IQ less thatn 80 and more than 120, a lot with IQ around 100, which is general normal IQ.
Higher than 120 only 10 % of population and most of them use Opera niceeeeee……
Higher than 120 only 10 % of population and most of them use Opera niceeeeee……
Now we know why Nobody isn’t using Opera
I’m proud of being an Opera fan for 10 years! :-)
However this little sample (only 100000 users) is not strong enough to prove something, but I’m sure people having higher IQ are more professional in web browsing and like to fully customize their bowser, or maybe they like to use an Internet Package instead of a simple browser. Then they go for Opera!
Einstein was pretty dumb for smoking against his Doctor’s advice having a high IQ does not mean you don’t do stupid things.
How in the world do you know what Einstein’s doctor told him?
It appear that this study is a hoax: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14370878
Neither David or Mr Cluley gave a real argument against the results of the research.
Hahahaha, and I just happen to use Opera 90% of the time. I don’t understand how people actually have the time to conduct tests like these when they could be using their time to improve the browser itself lol.
“Who has a low IQ now? ‘Study’ of Internet Explorer users was a hoax”
